Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo has faced numerous challenges over the past two years.
After his fairytale breakout season in 2023/2024, he spent a significant amount of time injured during the following season and fell out of favour when Ruben Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag as head coach in November 2024.
Mainoo was often left on the bench and struggled to get any meaningful gametime under the Portuguese manager.
The midfielder was so unhappy with the situation that he was open to joining Italian side SSC Napoli on loan.
When Michael Carrick replaced Amorim as head coach in January of this year, Mainoo was immediately reinstated into the line-up and United's form improved, allowing them to finish third in the league.
